Test time: The NCAA announced that it will experiment with a shorter shot clock and expanded restricted area under the basket during the NIT, which begins in March. The games will feature a 30-second shot clock instead of the traditional 35-second clock, and the restricted area under the basket will grow from 3 feet to 4 feet. Coaches who play in the tournament will be surveyed about their experience, and the rules committee will look at the data to consider future rules changes, which could be adopted as soon as May if they gain enough support.
